Traveling Means Finding Places Where We Can Be Who We Are

I am in the liminal state of wanting to stay and needing to go.
I want to hit the road and find new out-of-the-way places.
There is no substitute for traveling the road less taken,
To do new things and see a few unfamiliar faces.
I want to go where there are no crowds of people,
Just open roads with mountains in the distance afar.
I’ll try new kinds of meat and…
Here, there, everywhere
Sometimes he lies around here.
Like a horse fallen asleep mid-gallop.
Sometimes I catch him lying there…
In fact, it seems he is comfortable everywhere!
Such has been my weekend. Laying around with allergy and sinus issues, my dog has kept me company. I’ve certainly caught up on some sleep!
What’s happening? Not much today, and that’s okay!

Sadly, it been a long while since I made my last confession/TTC/Weekly Smile! …
The thing is – life is starting to get back to normal. I’d love to say that it means perfection but, as we all know, that ain’t the case. I’m not talking about Covid – rather the inconvenience of having the kitchen refitted. The last TTC – Weekly Smile was mid waiting for the fitters to arrive. It was done with…
I took a mushroom lighter holder pattern and swam with it 😅
How to:
I used a 3.5 hook. The fish head is: ch6 make a circle, then 3dc per stitch, then 1sc, 1dc for the whole length. The fins r frontloop, 2hdc, 3Tc, 2hdc, then the next row I decreased at the fins/ skipped the stitch with the fin. For the last row I did front loops: slip+ ch1 all. to make it flair out.
The mouth is: start at any stitch, 6sc, next row: 2sc per stitch, next row: slipst all. Glue on googly eyes
Then for the pocket part I started at the tail like one of them leaf bookmarks. (Left a long tail before the slipknot. Use it later to sew tail on better.) then chain 5 make a little circle. Next row increase all. Next row increase every other. Turn it into a tube big enough to hold a Bic. Make it about 13 rows tall. Then at the end, do a slip+ch1 the whole frontloop edge. This makes the head kinda click onto it snugly. Then if u want it for a necklace make sure it's about lanyard length. 30in ish. Tie it onto the edge of the lighter part and bead the head on.

Birthday dinner hair featuring Move with Me Hair Gel by @curlsdefined as a base gel and the ever popular @enbbanaturals styling gel as a topper. This was my first time trying out Enbba Naturals, and it's only day two but I'm already pretty impressed with the results.

On cold, chilly days when the sun plays hide and seek with the clouds,
I suffer from the grayness that freezes my heart and seeps inside my soul.
But a trip to the local museum is just the healing medicine I need.
As the colors thaw my heart and lift my soul, joy in being alive unrolls.

We have managed to sneak a week away from the cost of the kitchen renovations. Boyfriend and I have taken Franny for a tour of Somerset. Starting from Bath, we had tickets to see France crush England in the Under 20s Six Nations rugby. (Sadly repeated in the main game on Sunday!) Heyho! 🫣
The following day, we headed south to Cheddar Gorge via the glorious snow capped mendip hills. En route we…
